I really want a formal wedding dress, but how can I find one for less?
Sometimes you can find an inexpensive wedding gown by asking the right questions at wedding dress shops. They may have off-season, sale or clearance dresses, but these inexpensive wedding dresses are seldom advertised, so it's always a good idea to ask. Also be sure to keep your eyes open for sample sales in your area.

Is it acceptable to make my own wedding invitations?
Thanks to the popularity of scrapbooking and paper stores, it's never been easier to create unique and memorable wedding invitations.

How can I find affordable decorations for my wedding and reception?
Dollar stores, thrift stores and garage sales can provide a wealth of low-cost wedding and reception decorations. Strands of lights, faux florals, linens, balloons and more can be found for extraordinarily low prices at these stores. Be sure to look after holidays, as this is when items such as these go on clearance or are donated to thrift stores.

Is it less expensive to get married at certain times of the year?
Spring and summer are the most popular wedding seasons, and prices for venues rise accordingly. Choosing a fall or winter wedding not only gives you beautiful decorating themes to work with, but also offers more affordable venue options.

How can I have low-cost music at my wedding reception?
Save yourself $1000 or more by foregoing a live band. If you ask around, you probably have a family member, friend, or friend of a friend who does wedding DJ duties (or at least has a killer sound system) and would be willing to take charge of the music - usually for little or no cost. Your guests just want to dance and have fun, and it's not that important to them exactly where the music is coming from.

Bridal bouquets are expensive. Is there any way I can make mine more affordable?
To create a beautiful bridal bouquet for less, choose more affordable flowers (carnations, daisies, etc.) and then use a few exotic flowers as accents. You can create a stunning and original bouquet using flowers that are not necessarily "traditional" wedding flowers.

Wedding Website Questions

Can I purchase a wedding website semi-annually?
Currently, sites must be bought only by year and renewed each year. Because domain names (www.mywebsite.com) can only be registered once a year,
we can only offer web sites in 12-month increments. Many couples like to keep their wedding website after their wedding so they can post wedding
and honeymoon photos. Some couples even like to turn their site into a “family” site.

What are the renewal options after my year subscription is up?
You can choose to renew your site for an additional 12 months and you can also renew your domain name.

Can the pictures on the home page of this template be customized?
Yes, we can upload your own images to be displayed.

Can I password protect my wedding web site?
Yes, you have the option to password protect every page of your website. You can select this password and communicate it only to those you wish to
grant access.
